Police are trying to determine whether the brutal March 23 stabbing of a high school senior is tied to the homicide of her parents.

Prominent healthcare attorney Jeffrey E. Schobert, 56, and his wife, Margaret Schobert, 59, were found dead at 2:22 p.m. Tuesday in the master bedroom of their home at 4488 Rex Lake Dr. on Portage Lakes, said New Franklin Police Chief Daniel Davidson.

“The young woman was involved in an incident in Akron that put her in the hospital, and we’re trying to determine if (the incidents) are related in any way,” he said. “We’re investigating this along with Akron police.”

The rear of the couple’s home was under renovation and contractors had arrived at the house about 8 a.m. Tuesday, the chief said. That part of the large home is cordoned off.

Shortly after 2 p.m., a worker went to use the bathroom and, walking down the hallway past the couple’s bedroom, he saw the Schoberts, Davidson said.

Police determined both were slain, but the chief said they are not releasing the cause of death yet.

The couple have one daughter in college in Columbus; another daughter is a senior at Hoban High School.

The high school student, who is 18, was not at home when the couple was killed, the chief said, adding that she has been hospitalized.

The girl was beaten and stabbed between 12:30 and 5:30 a.m. March 23 at a home in the 1400 block of Andrus Street in Akron by a man Akron police reports described as a “stranger.” She was taken to Akron Children’s Hospital.
